-LRB- CNN -RRB- -- For the fourth weekend in a row , The Hunger Games easily led the domestic box office , holding off three new wide releases from the top spot .

Lionsgate 's $ 90 million blockbuster adaptation earned $ 21.5 million over the Friday-to-Sunday period , marking a slim 32 percent drop from last weekend . All told , The Hunger Games has earned $ 337.1 million after 24 days and seems headed for a final domestic total of about $ 375 million . The only other 2012 releases likely to reach those sorts of numbers are franchise films The Avengers , The Dark Knight Rises , and The Hobbit : An Unexpected Journey .

Internationally , The Hunger Games is n't yet the franchise-launching blockbuster that it is Stateside , but it is performing quite well week-to-week . The film is nearing the $ 200 million mark overseas , and as of Sunday , its worldwide total stands at $ 531 million . That figure should only climb with each subsequent sequel .

The Farrelly brothers ' latest comedy , The Three Stooges , debuted in second place with an unexpectedly strong gross of $ 17.1 million . While that figure is n't gargantuan , the slapstick romp fared better with ticket buyers and critics than anyone expected , since ads for The Three Stooges , which highlighted the goofball physical comedy of the original 1930s film series , had many people thinking the film was a dud .

Fox spent a reported $ 30 million on the comedy , which stars Sean Hayes , Will Sasso , and Chris Diamantopoulos , and marketed it to comedy-craving men and young boys eager for a family option other than Mirror Mirror . This strategy proved effective : according to CinemaScore , the film played to audiences that were 59 percent male . Stooges earned a lackluster `` B - '' CinemaScore grade , though -- crowds under 25 gave the film an `` A - '' and crowds 25 and up gave it a `` C '' -- which could hurt its box office longevity . Still , this should prove to be a minor winner for Fox .

After three years on the shelf following MGM 's demise , Joss Whedon 's horror/comedy The Cabin in the Woods finally got its release , and over its debut weekend , the film scared up $ 14.9 million -- a respectable result . Lionsgate faced a difficult challenge in marketing Cabin without giving away the film 's plot , which is most effective when kept under wraps .

Encouragingly , the film , which Lionsgate acquired for slightly less than $ 20 million , ticked up from $ 5.5 million on Friday to $ 5.7 million on Saturday -- a rare increase for frontloaded horror films and fanboy flicks -LRB- Cabin is both of these things -RRB- . This may have been the effect of strong word-of-mouth and stellar critical reviews overall -LRB- the film stands at 93 percent `` Fresh '' on Rotten Tomatoes -RRB- , although audiences polled by CinemaScore did n't prove overly enthusiastic . They gave the film a harsh `` C '' grade . Increasingly , CinemaScore grades do n't seem to line up with critical opinions -- this recently happened with Drive , which critics loved , but audiences issued a `` C - '' grade . Only time will tell whether word-of-mouth proves a boon or an anchor for Cabin , but it has a shot at becoming a mid-level sleeper hit .

In fourth place , Titanic 3D sank by only 33 percent to $ 11.6 million in its second weekend . After ten days , the 3-D re-release has pulled in $ 44.4 million , passing the re-release total of Star Wars : Episode I -- The Phantom Menace , which earned $ 43.3 million total despite a strong $ 22.5 million start . Titanic should sail right past Beauty and the Beast 3D 's $ 47.5 million gross over the next few days , and finish around $ 65 million . While that 's lower than The Lion King 's $ 94.2 million re-release total , and a bit less than many were expecting , Paramount spent just $ 18 million to convert the picture , so the the re-release will prove profitable -- especially as a launching pad for the Titanic Blu-ray , set to hit stores soon .

American Reunion rounded out the Top 5 with $ 10.7 million , a 50 percent decline from last weekend . Universal 's sequel has grossed $ 39.9 million against a $ 50 million budget , but given steep drops like this one , Reunion will end up the lowest-grossing title in the American Pie franchise .

Down in ninth place , Guy Pearce/Maggie Grace thriller Lockout started its run with a weak $ 6.3 million out of 2,308 theaters . The action film earned a `` B - '' CinemaScore grade .

In limited release , Weinstein 's buzzy documentary Bully , which finally got a PG-13 rating after cutting a few F-words , earned a moderate -LRB- given the amount of press it has received -RRB- $ 534,000 from 158 theaters . The film has earned $ 814,000 after three weekends . Meanwhile , Blue Like Jazz , the Kickstarter-funded adaptation of Donald Miller 's religious memoir , grossed an okay $ 281,000 from 136 locations . Because Jazz was funded by fans , the Roadside Attractions-distributed feature has minimal negative costs .

Among milestones , Journey 2 : The Mysterious Island crossed $ 100 million domestically this weekend . The film , which stars The Rock , has earned over $ 315 million worldwide . Denzel Washington thriller Safe House passed $ 125 million . And 21 Jump Street reached $ 120 million , and is now set to pass The Vow as Channing Tatum 's highest earner in 2012 .
